SaaS CRM App for B2B Sales

This project involved a CRM app, the most used in Europe, that helps businesses find new leads and maximize the potential of their sales processes. In administrator and end-user roles, I performed end-to-end testing of all new features on the web and mobile versions.

The app is very complex and has more than 100 modules. The project's most demanding challenge was understanding and testing everything in three different sales modules: AOV, CM, and ARR/MRR. The second challenge was designing the app's mobile version, which needed to be lighter in terms of functionalities and design.

I was an integral part of the team by going beyond testing and providing continuous suggestions for improving the performance and user experience of the app's mobile version.

Shopify eCommerce Website

An eCommerce website for worldwide furniture selling. I performed end-to-end testing (e.g., functional, regression, design, etc.) of the website on different browsers and mobile devices, using real devices and BrowserStack.

A unique feature of this platform is that it allows end users to build their own combinations for the same product. Besides manual testing, I created automated scripts using Cypress with JavaScript.

I handled the online store tests on the following:
• Different orders and product scenarios
• Impact on the cart
• Mobile responsiveness
• Multiple locations
• Shops with sold-out stock
• Shops with different allocation rules
• Shops that do not track inventory
• Product variants
• Processing various test orders
• Different order statuses

Magento eCommerce Website

The customer rebuilt their eCommerce website from WordPress to Magento with a fresh new layout and design. The design was done in Figma.

After the deployment of the new website, my responsibilities included:

• Comparing the old website to the new one, checking that all existing functionalities and content are in place.
• Comparing the new website with the Figma design, ensuring it is pixel-perfect.
• Performing end-to-end testing of the new website and the main pages—home, category, category landing, product, search and search results, login/create an account, cart, guest checkout, orders, returns, feedback, and more.

Financial and ERP App

A financial and ERP platform solution offered to more than 5,000 business customers in different industries, such as hotels, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, supermarkets, and other stores. The platform was made available on desktop, web, and mobile versions.

I handled end-to-end testing on all mediums, and besides manual testing, I have also done automated scripts through Selenium. I've acted as a middleware between customers, sales, and developers to define new customer software requirements and write detailed functional specifications. T-SQL was used to create database objects like tables, stored procedures, indexes, and functions. I also designed new queries to resolve issues, generated reports, and performed database backup and recovery.

The most challenging aspect of this project was its complexity: it involved more than 200 modules and a lot of data. Moreover, it was offered on a customized white-label version to many enterprise customers, which made it very difficult to understand the root cause of specific issues. Despite its complexity, it has been one of the projects where I've learned the most.

Fundraising Platform Solutions

A platform-agnostic, embeddable donation web application that applies to nonprofit organizations, such as churches and educational institutions.

I conducted the end-to-end testing of all app functionalities, evaluated the different components on all desktop and mobile browsers, and integrated testing with Stripe and a test case design. I worked in an agile team with daily scrum meetings.

Hospital Tracking System

A leading USA healthcare solution for IoT technologies, such as real-time location systems (RTLS) for patient flow optimization, asset management, environmental monitoring, staff safety, wayfinding, and more.

I have worked as the sole end-to-end tester for the whole system. The most challenging aspect of this project was that the system's flows and logic were very complex and involved many modules. I needed to perform many different user scenarios for each function.

Donation Management Platform for Churches

An all-in-one platform for centralizing donors, managing churches, and engaging with end users.

I handled all end-to-end manual testing while also focusing on automating donation forms using Selenium and Java, as well as payment integration testing through Stipe, Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, etc.

Annotation Layer Tool for Design Projects

An innovative tool that allows the user to gather feedback on a specific project, be it a live website, an image file, a multipage PDF, or any design project. The user only needs to share an URL, then point and click.

I've handled the end-to-end testing of the app and conducted integration, functional, regression, usability, and black-box testing, among other methodologies. The most complex aspect of this testing process was creating lots of different users to have a whole team interacting successfully within a project.

Location Tracking Mobile App

A mobile app for Android and iOS to receive notifications about your children's location.

I handled the end-to-end testing of the app, paying close attention to the accuracy of the GPS data. For this reason, I performed real-life testing scenarios and focused on design, testing the app in as many different mobile device types as possible.

Sports Website

I handled testing for one of the biggest sports websites. This project has been part of my testing portfolio for a year, during which I've been responsible for end-to-end testing.

The biggest challenge was design testing because it needed to be perfect and consistent across any device and browser type. I have used BrowserStack extensively, especially for mobile and tablet versions of the website. Each feature was tested on more than 20 different devices and mediums.

Q&A Web and Mobile App

An application that can be used to get answers to questions regarding payments. Users can also answer questions and get paid with tokens that can be converted into dollars or euros.

I performed end-to-end testing, such as functional, design, regression, integration testing with Stripe and Paypal, and system testing on different browsers and mobile phones (Android and iOS).
